What is CryptFIle2?

CryptFIle2 (also called Bandarchor) is ransomware that stealthily infiltrates systems and encrypts files using the asymmetric algorithm. This ransomware adds the .id_[VICTIM_ID]_[EMAIL].scl extension to all encrypted files (for example, [original file name]_id_[victims ID]_email_crts@dr.com_.scl or sample.jpg.id_[VICTIM_ID][zeta@dr.com].scl ).

Be aware that this ransomware generates two different keys (public and private) during encryption - 'public' to encrypt and 'private' to decrypt compromised files. The private key is stored on remote servers controlled by cyber criminals. Therefore, users must pay a ransom to receive the decryptor with an embedded private key.

What is Shark?

Shark is 'Ransomware as a Service' (RaaS) that allows regular users to create their versions of ransomware-type viruses with little or no technical knowledge. It is free for anyone to download on its official website. During encryption, Shark ransomware appends names of encrypted files with the ".locked" extension.

The list of encrypted files is stored within the "%UserProfile%\AppData\Roaming\Settings\files.ini" file. After encryption, Shark opens a ransom-demand window (victims are able to choose between 30 different language translations) containing payment instructions.
